    update-java-alternatives is your friend:

    $ sudo update-java-alternatives -l java-1.5.0-sun 53 /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-sun java-6-sun 63 /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun 

    Then select the Java version you want. E.g., to seletc Java 1.5, do

    $ sudo update-java-alternatives -s java-1.5.0-sun 

    Make sure first that you have the correct Java packages installed.

    See the Ubuntu Java page for more details.
